An interesting thread from Twitter that I wanted to share
Discussion
Interesting. But i don't agree that there is an increase of surveillance when personal privacy and security increases. Quite the opposite. As someone said (i can't find the quote), the Universe favours privacy and security because it is easier to encrypt than decrypt.
This personally is an annoyance for me: i spoke to a #Muslim about simply changing/deleting their ad ID on their phone and their response, "they can follow me all day, i don't care". And i've seen this too often.
The more people are anonymous the more the security #surveillanceState has to expend in currency, time and person power and therefore the more **reasonable** they will be with their decision to follow someone. Unlike the madness now.
It's like currency printing and they go hand in hand: because the surveillance state can follow almost everyone easily and automatically, they do ( and pay in currency printed out of nothing to agents that accept it happily and willingly).
